Step 4Time to play with metal tape!

Time to play with metal tape!
For this step we will be applying metal tape to our Lexan to make the awesome glowing pattern we want.

1. Lay out some metal tape on the table( maybe something you are not afraid to scratch)

2. Trace out the bigger part of the donut for the inside of the Lexan ( I used the inside of an electrical tape roll)

3. trace out the inside of the donut for the inside ( i traced a AA battery).

4. Apply to the inside of the Lexan

5. Approximate and cut strips of tape for the straight lines that come from the donut. (3/4" maybe)

6. Apply strips to outside of Lexan. Do not cross the inside hole of the donut on the other side.

7. Make a donut as similar as possible to your first and apply to outside of Lexan on top of strips.

Done!
